Magnetic fields in Vega, ϒ Geminorum, and Sirius are searched by using empirical and theoretical relations of magnetic-field strength to the relative differences between the equivalent widths of each pair of the two Fe II lines near 6150 and 4400 Å. We estimated the possible strengths of their magnetic fields as follows: 0.0 kG or 2.5 – 3.5 kG for Vega, 0 – 2 kG or 2.8 – 3.0 kG for ϒ Gem, and 0.0 kG or ∼ 2(?) – 2.5 kG for Sirius. The empirical relation yields the former value in each star, which is consistent with those determined through polarization measurements, while the theoretical relation the latter with systematically large values.
